About a month ago I wrote a post on Actroids and how they will be the tool of future art directors. Then today I found this YouTube video showcasing Emily that explains to us what Image Metrics is. The thing is, Emily isn’t really a real woman, she’s a 3D generated actor – an Actroid.

They’re here and they are pretty darn scary. However I’m not half scared as Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts. They must be shitting their pants. I wonder how much they’re getting paid for a face scan?

I know. This girl isn’t really competing with real actresses…yet. But in 10-15 years time, powerful computers, 3D software as easy as textpad and downloadable models with different voices to go will become the must have tools for every Art Director out there who is looking to fulfil his/her new idea for a TV commercial.

Oh, forgot. There won’t be any TV commercials.
